New Six-Balanced Armature Architecture
Fathom is equipped with six custom-made balanced armature drivers, each designed with a specific role in mind to enhance your listening experience. The configuration includes dual custom high-definition super tweeters for crisp, clear highs; a pair of custom mid-range drivers for accurate vocal and instrument reproduction; and dual custom BA woofers for rich, balanced bass. This setup is meticulously engineered to deliver precise sound reproduction across the entire frequency range.
Phase Harmony Engineering
At Campfire Audio, our philosophy regarding driver treatment informs a considered approach that emphasizes quality over quantity. In the arms-race to fit a higher and higher number of drivers into an earphone, we find that a results-driven technique to driver treatment produces superior results with less room for pitfalls and ever-expanding variables that can undermine product consistency.
One of the products of this approach is our Phase Harmony Engineering, that allows us to segment the frequency spectrum and assign these segments to specific drivers, and allows those drivers to apply their strengths to that area. But it doesn’t end there, using a combination of precision engineered driver housings and shell geometry, coupled with custom damping values we are able to physically shape the tuning and response of the drivers, and further, their interaction with one another. This driver-to-driver interaction is crucial to eliminating points of potential phase cancellation and creating the intangibles that don’t show on a frequency response curve; imaging, separation, resolution, and soundstage.

Peak Perfomance
Fathom is precision engineered inside-and-out by the same engineering team that has brought you all Campfire IEMs for years. Leveraging our many in-house designs and advancements, Fathom is the new standard bearer for the all-BA branch of our IEM evolution.

Tuned With Intention
This curve displays relative volume levels at each point across the frequency spectrum, reflecting Fathom's careful balance and refinement in tuning. Though FR curves are a great general guide, they can't convey technicalities like soundstage, imaging, layering, etc.

Full Review"Fathom represents an evolution of the Andromeda formula that feels highly familiar yet changed in a meaningful way that earns the new title. The same beloved traits are apparent; that being a warm, rich bass, articulate midrange, and detail-forward treble. However, they are now enhanced with a much cleaner background and more accurate imaging alongside a more authentic treble instrument portrayal."

Full Review"[Fathom] gives you a very nice weight to the music, especially in the midrange, and the treble is sparkly and highly detailed... It is now the most universal offering from the brand.
Considering its beautiful design and build quality, married with a sound that is engaging yet polished and easy to listen to, the Fathom has everything it takes to become the new bestseller from CFA."

Full Review"The Campfire Audio Fathom is a very balanced-sounding BA IEM with a natural, agreeable lilt to its sound signature combined with excellent vocal presence and impressive imaging.
Arguably, this is ‘next level’ Andromeda at ‘same level’ pricing."
